Quote by June Jordan
Self-determination has to mean that the leader is your individual gut, and heart, and mind or we're talking about power, again, and its rather well-known impurities. Who is really going to care whether you live or die and who is going to know the most intimate motivation for your laughter and your tears is the only person to be trusted to speak for you and to decide what you will or will not do.

The quote emphasizes the importance of having someone who genuinely cares about our well-being and understands our deepest motivations to speak on our behalf and make choices that align with our true selves. Ultimately, self-determination is about having someone trustworthy enough to represent us and make decisions that reflect our personal desires and values.
